Once there was a little orphan (孤儿) who always wished that he could fly like a bird. It was very difficult for him to understand why he could not fly.
There was another little boy who was crippled. One day the orphan came to a park, where he saw the little crippled boy playing in the sand alone.
He ran over to the little crippled boy and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird.
“No,” he said. “But I’ve been thinking about what it would be like to walk and run like others.”
“That is very sad,” said the little orphan. “Do you think we could be friends?”
“Sure,” said the little crippled boy.
The two little boys played for hours. Neither of them felt as lonely as they had been before. Then the little crippled boy’s father came with a wheelchair to pick up his son. The little orphan ran over to him and said something into his ear.
“That would be OK,” said the man.
The little orphan ran back to his friend and said, “You are my only friend and I wish I could do something to make you walk and run like others. Unluckily, I can’t. But there is something that I can do for you.”
The little orphan boy turned around and told his friend to slide onto his back. Then he began to run across the grass. He ran faster and faster, carrying the little crippled boy on his back.
The father began to cry with tears as his son shouted at the top of his voice, “I’m FLYING! Daddy, I’m FLYING!”

Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You don’t know whether it is true that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you   36  .

I wanted to do something very   37   for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it   38   it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备).

I could   39   wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to   40   the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a   41  :” To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could   42   lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s   promise.

I stood there shocked(震惊的), crying a river, asking myself how my son could  43  this expensive gift.

Of course, the house awoke, and my son was very pleased with my reaction(反应). Many kisses were exchanged, and I immediately wanted him to   44   my gift.

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not exactly what I was expecting. Then I   45   that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love is   46   present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to   47   this story.

 Yours,

Hilary
